A great time with Theomel
This was an incredible experience. Theomel was our guide, and he was able to provide so much color to the history and culture of not only Colombia, but Medellin and Antioquia. He is a native who grew up there, and you can feel his passion. We covered a lot of places, and he took great care of us. We had a great time with him.
You should really come into these free tours expecting to provide a tip. They are paying out of their pocket to host you, and it's the decent thing to do to make them whole. Didn't like the tour - Give less. Loved the tour - Give more. In our case, we gave a lot more.

Guatape tour... A must do!
Everything about this tour was great! Experiencing the different foods,the tour guide, the stops, boat ride, lunch was great and the cheese and guava sauce. We are still talking about this. Guatape is beautiful, but Columbia and it's people and culture is amazing!

Amazing waterfall hike!
Amazing hike crisscrossing the river numerous times. Challenging enough train to make it fun but but not at all too difficult. Lots of cool information from the guides as well about the flora along the way and the animals that live in the area. When I return to Medellin someday I may even do it again it was so good! The guides were super helpful making sure everybody got up more difficult climbs, and sent out good pre-trip info.

Best tour on site.
Hands down the best tour! We had a great time, Simon and his colleagues were great! Our breakfast was authentic and delicious which made the trip even better. The bus trip was scenic. Simon was well informed when explaining the tour. We have no complaints and would def do this tour again and recommend our friends.

Alejandro was great,...
Alejandro was great, organized and all around a great guide and very safe drive to and from Guatape.
You get two full meals that were both delightful we both left very full
You get great value for money as well! Would recommend to anyone in the Medellin area.

This tour is a great way...
This tour is a great way to see Medellin! It may not be the easiest, but it was fun! I needed to be back at a certain time to change hotels, and they even worked it out to meet another staff member to take me back. I really appreciated them meeting my needs.

So much fun!
We had a wonderful horseback riding experience that we truly enjoyed. Our guide, Sara, was exceptional from the very beginning and added so much to the overall experience. The horses, Troya and Paloma, were calm, well cared for, and a pleasure to ride.
It was a long and rewarding ride, with a stop along the way to enjoy a spectacular view. Although it rained on and off, we were provided with waterproof covers, and it was never uncomfortable. In fact, the cooler weather and lack of strong sun made the ride even more enjoyable.
During the ride up, Sara gave us a great overview of Medellín, sharing interesting insights about the city and the surrounding region. Beyond being very professional, she is a warm and genuine person with a truly lovely spirit, which made the experience feel personal and special.
I would also like to highlight Andrés from Medellín Day Trips, who was excellent to work with. He checked in with us both before and after the activity to ensure everything met our expectations, demonstrating a high level of care and professionalism.
This activity was the perfect way to start our first day in Medellín. It allowed us to get some exercise, connect with nature, and enjoy local horses in a beautiful setting. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Rich history and hopeful future
Wow. JAIME was a wonderful tour guide and a captivating storyteller. He has a lot of knowledge of history of his city and you can feel the love he has for it. His communications in English is effective and fluent. I was able to discuss on numerous issues with him. He presented a balanced perspective of the Medellin cartel. I appreciated the insights and thd people we met along the way. He's a great driver too. Thank you, my man. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Joshua was a FANTASTIC guide!
I booked this tour with my partner and we could not have had a better experience.
Our tour guide was Joshua and he was a 12/10 tour guide. He picked us up right at the hostel we were staying at - he was informative, professional and very easy-going. He was great with letting us go at our own pace and we spent much of our tour time exploring the “Comuna 13” and the Downtown area. We never made it to the cable cars which was our own decision because we wanted to spend more time at the first two destinations and Joshua was very accommodating.
“Comuna 13” was a bustling favela type neighborhood that had plenty of cool things to check out: Bars/Restaurants, Street Food, Street Graffiti, Soccer Field and Joshua gave some insight to the history of the neighborhood as it was “the most dangerous” neighborhood back in the ‘80’s.
From there we went to the downtown area where we walked around and Joshua explained some of the more prominent buildings in the downtown area and we did some shopping with the local vendors. He also took us to the “Nacional Palacio” which was their version of a mall but it was a beautiful building with an art museum on the rooftop floor which i would highly recommend checking out. Joshua was also EXTREMELY helpful with helping us haggle on prices in the downtown area as me and my partner were not the best at speaking Spanish.
All in all - we had a great time and cannot thank Joshua enough for a great day exploring the city of Medellín!

WOW! Thanks for the views!
I highly recommend this tour! The main reason I chose this was because of the hostel pickup that it provided instead of you having to uber yourself to the pickup spot like most other paragliding options.
I am glad I chose this because not only of the free pickup but the go pro videos and pictures! The instructor provides all of them via USB to your phone at the end of the day free of charge!
If you want a memorable Medellin experience 10,000 feet in the air, look no further than this!

A family favorite!
Our family with 2 young teen daughters went and had the best time. Our leaders were very knowledgeable and we learned all about the political, socioeconomic and cultural history of Medellín. It is such a beautiful city and this is such a great way to see a lot of major sites! They kept us very safe on some of the busy streets as well. Definitely a must do!
